When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 44 Boss Xi
When Xu Xiangling left, Gu Hua asked Xia He to give her fifty taels of silver.

Knowing that she was afraid of being caught by those people, which was why she wanted to leave with injuries soon after waking up, Gu Hua did not stop her.

Xu Xiangling was not kept because Gu Hua didn't know whether what she said was true or false.

Furthermore, it was just as Gu Hua said himself, because Xu Xiangling felt sorry for the children and did not let them live in the shady shop, she was beaten up afterwards.

It was she who had a kind heart and saved herself. How could Gu Hua let her stay and be a slave to repay the so-called life-saving grace?

After Xu Xiangling left.

Gu Hua took Xia He and Ergui to the alley mentioned by the innkeeper and found the matchmaker named Lin's house. There they bought four honest and simple-looking girls, about 11 or 12 years old, to help Xia He and Mu Xue take care of the children.

This way, when she goes out to do things, she won't have to worry about not having enough people around the child. It just so happens that the few people are not too old, so Xia He can take them with her and train them so that they can be used by the child in the future.

Two of the four girls were sold because they had a stepmother and a stepfather, another one was sold because her family favored boys over girls, and the last one was sold because her uncles and aunts did not want to raise her after her parents died.

No matter what the reason, they were sold to human traffickers by their families. The four girls were bought back, cleaned up, and then Xia He was asked to take them with her to work.

In order to buy people, Gu Hua got up early. After finishing the work, the caravan continued its journey when the sun rose high.

Because it didn't snow heavily yesterday, the snow on the road had melted when the sun came out.

Over the next few days, Gu Hua and his team arrived smoothly at Wanping Prefecture, the capital closest to the capital.

Because this place is only about 200 miles away from the capital, the people here live a more prosperous life than other more distant provincial capitals.

Gu Hua passed by here and was attracted by the prosperity of Wanping Prefecture. He planned to see if he could find a suitable buyer here to sell a batch of furs.

So, Gu Hua led the caravan to find a reasonably priced inn to stay in.

Let Mu Feng take people to look after the goods, and Ergui will be in charge of the feeding of the animals that carry the goods, which are an important means of transportation that they cannot do on the road.

Gu Hua took Qi Yan, Yan Minghua and others out to find sales channels.

They went to the shoemaker's shop first. It was winter now, and wealthy families would make a pair of warm boots for their families to keep them warm through the winter.

The boots made by wealthy families are made of fine fur. Not only is the fur inside warm, but a circle of furry fur is also left on the outside for embellishment and decoration.

This is the difference between rich people and wealthy people who are both rich and wealthy. Rich people have enough food and warm clothes, while wealthy people not only need to have enough food and warm clothes, but also need to dress beautifully.

Everyone knows that you should compare prices from three different stores before shopping.

It is also necessary to compare prices among three companies.

Gu Hua found out that there are five shoemaking shops in Wanping that serve wealthy people, while other small shoemaking shops mostly serve ordinary people. There is also a special shoemaking shop called Jinyuanfang.

This shop was originally the largest embroidery shop in Wanping Prefecture. It not only made high-end shoes and leather boots, but also fur cloaks, fur capes with brocade lining for men and women, cloaks, and clothes and accessories decorated with various high-quality furs.

It was also a major buyer of furs every winter. It seemed something had happened and the store was about to close down.

This was none of Gu Hua's business, and she was not very curious, nor did she like to meddle in other people's business. After a round of shopping, four of the five larger shoemakers in Wanping Prefecture offered reasonable prices, and there was one remaining store, so Gu Hua took Qi Yan and the others to have a cup of tea to quench their thirst before checking the price.

……

Gu Hua sat in the teahouse, drinking tea and listening to people at the next table gossiping.

"It's a pity that the Xi family girl's unlucky husband saw her parents pass away, so he left her a divorce letter, took away all the money in the family shop, and disappeared with his lover."

"Alas, poor Madam Xi is left with an empty store with her young daughter. She has no money to buy more goods to continue running the once prosperous Jinyuanfang. Her relatives who run a shoemaker shop in Waiba Road also want to seize her store."

As Gu Hua listened, he felt a sense of familiarity. The more he listened, the more it sounded like what he had experienced during his time travel.

After drinking tea and taking a short rest, Gu Hua and his companions came to the last shoemaker shop called Jinyuanfang, which was only one letter different from the Jinyuanfang they had just heard in the teahouse.

The owner of Jinyuanfang was also named Xi. After looking at the fur samples they brought, his triangular eyes twinkled and he asked, "How many of these do you have?"

Yan Minghua, who was in charge of inquiring about the prices and talking to people, did not answer directly, but asked: "Boss Xi, have you seen these three types of leather goods of upper and middle grade? What prices can you give for each?"

Boss Xi of Jinyuanfang saw Yan Minghua's caution and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He picked up a piece of high-quality sheepskin that had been well nitrated and said, "I'll give you two taels of silver for this kind of leather, one tael for the medium-quality leather, and one yuan for the inferior leather."

He held his head high with a look of almsgiving on his face, which made people want to beat him up.

"I'll take whatever you have, but as for the price, you have to follow my quotation."

When Gu Hua saw the shoemaker shop owner who was as thin as a knife and saw the cunning flash in his eyes, he guessed that this person wanted to make things uncomfortable.

I worked so hard to lead the team and endured the pursuit to transport the goods here. If he wants to lower the price too much, he will eat the meat and let her drink the soup. He is just dreaming and making her feel uncomfortable. What is he doing?

Sure enough, it was as she expected.

"Boss Xi, the price you quoted is very reasonable."

What Gu Hua said was very reasonable. Not only did it shock the people she brought with her, but even Boss Xi, who knew very well how unscrupulous the price she quoted was, looked at her in shock, wondering if she was stupid.

However, he thought that Gu Hua was a businessman from another place and did not dare to offend his boss, Xi, and thought that Gu Hua was willing to sell the goods to him at a low price, and the smug smile on his face had not yet faded.

Then Gu Hua said slowly, with a smile on his face, "The price is very reasonable, but at this price, Boss Xi needs to go to the border pastoral area and buy it from the people there."

"You..." Boss Xi's face was full of ferocity. "If you dare not sell the goods to me, I will make sure you cannot leave Wanping Prefecture."

"I'm so scared!" Gu Hua made an obviously mocking and frightened expression towards Boss Xi, and held down Qi Yan who was about to kick him. "Let's go. I heard that idiocy is contagious. Let's stay away from him."

Qi Yan glanced at Boss Xi, whose face was as sharp as a knife, with a sharp gaze, "If you go to the border to collect the goods, I will definitely make sure you never come back."

Boss Xi's heart suddenly tightened when he was looked at by such a sharp gaze, as if his throat had really been cut by someone, and he couldn't help but touch his neck.

However, when he thought of the fur samples he had just seen, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Boss Xi's eyes again, and he looked at their departing backs with a sinister look.
